alcohol really does not hurt the liver as much as you would think; Most acloholics die from complications unrelated to the liver, it is the most resilient of the organs.

In fact, liver tastes better when you serve it with with a wine pan sauce.

Never tried it, and I don't trust myself to cook it right. Any chain restaurants you could reccomend? Or any restaurant in Florida really.

>> No.6858821

>>6858806
I don't know, but it's cheap as it gets and easy to do. If you mess it up it doesn't matter so much. Just drop it on a high heat in oil and give it a couple of minutes both sides. You're more likely to overcook it than undercook it.

If it's the liver of a large animal you also need to remember to cut it into thinnish strips. Look up images to get an idea. I find it's best to flour these. You don't have to worry about prepping poultry liver so much, but you might want to soak it in milk for around 20 minutes. Poultry liver is a totally different sort of experience, but is just as delicious.

Thanks, I'll probably end up trying beef first. It seems like it would taste better to me.

Unless you're eating it incredibly often and in large amounts, pregnant, or have failing kidneys there's really no inherent danger in liver.
It's a pretty healthy and nutrient dense item to add to your diet.

dangerously delicious

thinly sliced, 1 minute on both sides on quite high heat, add salt and a little touch of pepper

during the escargot thread not long ago, i was told that raising my own snails was basically going to give me liver flukes.

so my answer is flukes.

>> No.6860742

>>6858537
none, really. the only danger is cooking it wrong, or udnercooking it. always make sure that there's no more blood coming out of it when you take it out of the pan. also, always season it at the end, as adding salt at the beginning will make it hard and rubbery.

I can only say this for Chicken liver, though. My mother cooks it in a very delicious way, she adds things that make it so good and juicy and saucy. I'll try to get the recipe and post it here
Never tried beef liver.

This. Eating too much organ meat can make uric acid crystals build up and turn into gout.

Also if you're on blood thinners liver will prevent them from working because it's the center of Vit. K. production.

>> No.6862884

>>6862870
Does that apply to all organs? Or just popular ones like kidney and liver?

OP: There's too much vitamin A in liver. We already get plenty of that, and extra leads to toxicity. It's fat-soluble, so it gets stored in the body, unlike water-solubles such as vitamin C: too much C, and your body just passes it out. It's impossible to eat a toxic amount of C.

So anyway, liver's a once a week meat at most. And skip the cod liver oil that week.
